South America #001

ARGENTINA

I told about a filly on the international area of this board:

Qué Piensa Cat - (2yo filly) 2 wins in 3 starts (including G1), an Easing Along filly, out of the Compatible mare, Compenetrada.
She beat Husson's (this one largely discussed on that thread) track record on her last start - Gran Premio Eliseo Ramírez (G1) at San Isidro. She won by 8 lenghts, with 1'18"23 (1.400m turf).

She has just been sold to international owners and is, probably, going to the USA.

Together with her is going Gran Estreno (by Lucky Roberto), winner of GP Jockey Club (G1)

I believe OLD DODGE impacted my wallet to the tune of 1212 bucks for a 1 dollar tribox SWEET

Town Partner - 2yo colt son of Town Capper (USA) and Blanchette, by Bid Us (USA). He ran 5 times at Argentina. He won 3 times, got one 2nd place and a 6th place in his last start. He won his 1st start, on the first round of Copa Precoces. Then he lost Copa Precoces Final. Then, he won first round and final of Copa Bullrich (just for animals sold by Bullrich Company). After that he completely failed at GP Santiago Luro.

I think his victory at Copa Bullrich cannot be taken as a measure of argentinian average field of stakes races, since there is a limitation of entries (animals sold by Bullrich). And when he faced strong competition, he won one, and then got 2nd and 6th.

Is he scheduled to run in the US? I think you should evaluate the field, but i dont see him as the next invasor!

This horse I know better, since he is from Brazil too...

This horse has an interesting history...He run 8 times and never won...only got 2 second places....(from 7 to 10 furlong....dirt and turf)...but their conections realized the horse improved when going longer distances....then they entered him to run a 12 furlong race (on the turf), distance which he had never run before....he is unbeaten since then (5 in a row)...every time with stronger fields...on his last start he won a listed race....tomorrow he is going to his 6th in a row at GP Oswaldo Aranha (gr.III), prep for one of brazilian biggest races GP São Paulo (GI), against wonderful Top Hat (10f record holder). His form is superb by now...

If you want to watch him live for free tomorrow access www.hcj.com.br , register yourself at "corridas ao vivo" (live race).

How do you know those horses?

See you!

Thanks for all the info. I am always intrigued by SA invaders, would be great to have some additional insight.

I will throw one out there, if you don't mind. Stanley Hough is training a horse named Solarana (ARG). Are you familiar with her?

I heard from a friend that connections are very excited about her. She made first NA start opening day at KEE and ran what I thought was a very game 3rd, encountering some traffic in stretch. Looked that they had a ton of horse. I believe she was previously undefeated.

Thanks,

Pat
